Years ago Alden Leeds found a rich vein of gold in the Klondike. Now his greedy relatives fear he's planning to grow his fortune away on a gold-digging spouse, Emily Millicant. So to prevent the two from joining in holy matrimony, they commit their affluent kin to a sanitarium on a trumped-up charge. Then Leeds escapes, only to end up in the company of Emily's blackmailing brother, John, a manufacturer of fixed dice, rolling bones that always come up seven. But when John is murdered, with Leeds' fingerprints found all over the apartment, Perry Mason must crack a baffling case before his clients bumps from the nut house to the jail house. With the reissue of this iconic series-many titles of which have not been in print for years--it is out hope at Ankerwycke to introduce a whole new generation of readers to the investigative brilliance of Perry Mason and the masterful storytelling of Erle Stanley Gardner, drawing together a new and a connected family of fans throughout the world.

'You've got it?' Della Street asked.

'I have an explanation. I don't know whether it's the explanation, but it's quite an explanation'.

Della said Ellen was too beautiful to be trusted; Perry thought he could find out by switching guns on her - thus starting a series of explosions that nearly blast him out of court ...
